The top picture may be a Charity Label for the Tel Hai fund, set up pre-state to help underground fighters financially. The fund is named after a village in the Galilee that fell to Arab attackers in 1919 after some heroic resistance. Google it.
The label depicts famed Jewish scholar Rabbi Moses ben Maimon, better known as Maimonides or Rambam.
I have never seen that particular label and it does look more like a proof or reprint. Time will tell.

I have never seen the 2nd label.

The third label is a bit of a curiosity because long ago I was told it was produced for propaganda purposes by the PFLP but it looks much older so I am doubtful about that. I have a multi-colour version of the same. It depicts, I believe, the Mosque of Omar and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.

I have never seen the last label. Could it be a cut-out from something ? It looks like a badly produced drawing of Israeli soldiers entering the Sinai Peninsula at the time of the Suez crisis when they had had enough of Egyptian invasions in to their country.

But I could be wrong.

Londonbus1....most often is !

I believe this is a Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) label rather than a Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) label. The upper text reads Popular Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which was the initial name of the DFLP from its split from the PFLP in 1969 to 1975 when the name was shortened to its present one.

The bottom text reads: Fighter Mohammed Askar (or maybe Mohammed Sukkar) surround by 5 Fils values.

3)

The top text reads: Syria and Lebanon Day
The bottom text is a lesser-known verse from a well-known 1926 poem by Egyptian poet Ahmed Shawqi written in solidarity with the Great Syrian Revolt of the time. The verse reads: And for red freedom is a door | Knocked on with every red-stained hand.
The images are of the Syrian, Lebanese and Palestinian flags atop the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Dome of the Rock.
